HERE is a thoughtful post by James McGrath on disagreeing with atheists. I think that he is right on the mark when he says: “When I disagree with atheists, it is usually because they accept premises and assumptions of religious fundamentalists that I think need to be critically examined and challenged.” In other words, atheists tend to make it out that fundamentalist religious belief is the only “true” kind of religious belief. And, then they proceed to attack it. I must admit that I have often felt this way when reading atheists like Dawkins and Hitchens. Be sure to check out McGrath’s post at the link above for a more thorough handling of this topic.

I must have missed this one as well.

It doesn’t work for you in Google Reader either?
No. Or, rather, I haven’t tried it. I have you on my favorites bar – don’t tell anyone – so I check your posts a few times a day.
Not sure what the deal is. I’ve signed up for my RSS to test it and had others do so too without a problem. But then, I’ve had others say they’ve had problems.
Maybe it’s just outlook 2007. No matter, I still keep up.
